Harper Floss

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

Why did we start Harper Floss? Actual floss used in drug store floss products is made of nylon (derived from crude oil), and takes 50-80 years to decompose, often in the ocean.

We wanted to create a beautiful flossing experience that’s easy to stick to + good for the planet.🌎

By some estimates, more than 2 billion plastic floss dispensers are tossed every year, not to mention the plastic floss they contain.🤯

Habits are not a finish line to be crossed, they are a lifestyle to be lived.🌱🌍

“Harper Floss sets out to eliminate the plastic floss containers that get tossed into landfills, with their refillable glass vessels.” 🌍🦷

Most Canadians will fail at their New Year’s resolutions six weeks in. You’re 10 days down - keep it up. 📆

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

Make that time count by paying closer attention to your technique and by choosing a floss that reduces your environmental impact. 🌍

Do you have 730 minutes to spare?

@AmerDentalAssn knows that’s how much time you should spend flossing per year. (THREAD)

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

When you frame it that way, it sounds like a lot, but spread out over 365 days it’s only 2 minutes per day. 🦷

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

It’s “just” floss. Tweaking one of your smallest habits to be better is not a big deal.

@gabriellainga @larnold5 Thanks for giving us a try, Gabriella! We’re stoked to help you get back on track.🦷

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

Be honest... how often do you floss?🦷

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

Bamboo: not biodegradable (usually laced with polyester to strengthen!), a step up from nylon drug store floss but be wary🚫

🌿Eco-friendly floss breakdown - we’ve been getting a lot of questions about what alternatives to drug store floss are out there, so here they are 🌎🦷 (a thread)

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

Corn: 100% biodegradable, but super thick (irritates gums easier) and is less durable than silk

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

@harleyf Oh you know, just directly serving silk, biodegradable dental floss to the people and saving the earth.🌎🦷

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

@erinbury @larnold5 High five for habitual flossers. 🦷 Thank you, @erinbury!

[Harper Floss @HarperFloss]

@swombat No plans right now for an alternative to the plastic floss sticks, but stay tuned.👀
